2 Corinthians 5:9 – Is pleasing God your goal?

2 Corinthians 5:9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

Context: The Corinthian church is going through trails and their outward body (home) is wasting away. Yet, they are courageous, knowing their eternal (away) body is being renewed day by day and will be rewarded.

Observations:

Whether we are at home or away

We make it our aim

To please him

Note: It is impossible to please God without living by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7 Hebrews 11:6).

Apply: In a season of decisions, I want my aim to be clear – to please him. I want to spend time talking with Rebecca about what pleasing God tangibly looks like in our lives right now.

What can warn you that you are working to please yourself and not to please God?

What am I doing?

I'm seeking to follow Jesus every day.
As a step in the process, I'm reading through the Bible (The One Year Bible - You can find the plan in print and on YouVersion) and asking three questions: 1. What is God saying to me? 2. How will I obey? 3. Who will I tell?
